Tupelo Honey
Tupelo honey, renowned for its exquisite flavor and unique properties, is a natural masterpiece! Tupelo boasts a smooth, buttery taste with hints of floral and fruit notes. This rare variety of honey is a natural choice for diabetics because of it's remarkably low glycemic index.
Tupelo honey originates from the southeastern United States, notably the pristine river swamps and floodplains of the Gulf Coast region. It is harvested from the blossoms of the tupelo tree, specifically the white tupelo (Nyssa ogeche) and the black tupelo (Nyssa sylvatica). These trees thrive in the wetlands, but they only flower for a short period each spring. Tupelo Honey is known for: its difficulty to produce, longest shelf life, remarkably low glycemic index, and incredible flavor.
